SCOOTER LIBBY PARDON: Rep. Robert Wexler on Abuse of Power

[lovejen01]

I have a question where was Robert Wexler when Sandy Berger stole those classified documents from the archive did see him or any of the other democrats do anything about that.

[walkermydawg]

Shit for brains bush having made an "intellectually..."statement is an absurd sentence because it contains the words bush and intellectually. It was commuted as opposed to a full pardon because with a pardon, libby enjoys not immunity and would be back before a grand jury being grilled about crimes of dick and bush.

[MusicFromPeru]

and Leonard Peltier still en jail after 35 years.......amazing !

[tonylee1973]

wexler is a friend of libby folks don't be fooled.

[sirlonghair]

@tonylee1973 glad I don't have a friend like him

[KingOfTheKill10001]

@tonylee1973 Then why did he practically demand he serve that 30 month sentence? I don't see your logic, please elaborate.

[combatvetlawstudent]

GOD BLESS WEXLER!!!!!!!

[celticlofts]

I just think that no person, no matter who they are, should have the power to overrule the courts without that decision being subject to challenge by the Supreme Court. I know that claiming executive privilege can be challenged (Nixon White House Tapes) but I dont know if an executive pardon can. Maybe someone out there could clarify that for me.

[bimboblacky]

Representative Dennis Kucinich from the State of Illinois filed a RESOLUTION TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT GEORGE WALKER BUSH with the House Judiciary Committee in late June, everybody. Let's C what they do with it...if one of YOUR reps is ONE that committee, WRITE THOSE LETTERS saying what EVER you honestly believe about the resolution!!!  Isn't that the traditional American way? Right?

[KARStarla]

yeah Dennis brought that resolution to impeach and bring to justice BUT there AGAIN we have Nancy Pelosi *obstructing* justice. She shoud now be included in the dismissal

I heard she did that because Israel leaders told her not to

Makes sense after watching 911 missing links

[stevethul1]

I have to ask why this Admin. is still running this country and not in jail. Congress, Do Your Job and Stand Up for the People of this Country and put these crooks in jail before they completely ruin our nation and our freedoms that so many have died for.

**** DO YOUR JOB NOW!!!! ****

[floydian8073]

this will never happen, because our government has been installed by those bringing forth the NWO... this is where their genius really shines through... not only did they install the Bush administration(and Clinton, Bush 1, etc.)but also senators and state representatives, something that even many of those WHO ARE AWAKE aren't even aware of... the shit this country is in is REALLY deep right now.. political loyalty and political fright have replaced sound policy-making and democratic governance

[stevethul1]

Why are our children Dieing in Iraq for a President and Admin. that are removing the rights that they are dieing for and giving the criminals the rights. This confuses me and we mush Impeach the whole Admin. and hold them responsible. This Admin is so corrupt that it makes me feel that I became disabled for this country for nothing. We are dieing for these people that do not deserve to live in this country.

Yes found Guilty by the same system we americans live under and he was let go. Bush had pardon him because of his knowledge of the Bush clan.

[57girl]

Dennis Kucinich would be a great candidate for the position of VP too. Hell, I'll take anybody that is on the side of the United States. The Neo Con's have got to be filtered out and removed from their posts while we are still a Sovereign Nation.

[57girl]

I suspect the views on this video have been monitered. This video is just more evidence of the corruption in the Bush Administration. All of these crooked bastards need to be removed from office. We need to send a message to the NeoCon's that America belongs to her people, not the elite. UNITED we STAND for the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

[floydian8073]

there is a strong possibility that, in the near future, viewing a video like this and leaving remarks not complimentary to our completely corrupt government will be viewed as an act or treason or extremism, and we will be identified as pseudo terrorists by those who want to "weed out" the "domestic terrorists," allowing a police state to come into fruition... WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME LEFT!

[ecertal]

He is too sexy and I am black

[baracine]

This has been up for a year and only 3,000 Americans watched it? I'd seriously start worrying about the future of your so-called democracy.

[bimboblacky]

I predict that LOTS more of us will B watching things like this as our election draws ever closer 4 the year 2008. Also, remember that YouTube is LOADED with various videos, and even with their Search Engines (which *I* find less than ideal personally), it can B a bit difficult 2 find a LOT of things on this server. But thanks 4 taking notice, and THAT is probably more than most of even those 3,000 previous citizens (other than myself) bothered 2 do even AFTER watching this video!!!

[rogelio67]

sick'em wex

[Gwenlj]

WEXLER OWNED HIS ASS! GET HIM WEXLER!!

[Cedrusdeodara]

Wexler 08 for President!!! I love your integrity. It is lacking in our government, for the Republicans, but also for the sheepish Democrats who vote for bullshit wars because they are afraid to be on the wrong side. You are a true American hero. Keep it up!!!  Beware of the McCain/Bush push to war with Iran.

[timmyblaze]

What a way to begin the new millenium....

Republican fuckers. Power to the mother fucking people.

Democratic '08

[Jevtar]

Dennis Speaks for ME !!

I'm glad hes holding them accountable!

If you, or I do wrong we would go to jail!

No "presidential commutation" PRISON !!

[betterlucknow]

Lets cross our finger that Obama will ask him to run as Vice President.

[scientistwriter]

Dude Obama is a CFR ass licker. He will follow their orders like bush did. Wexler is not like them. Wake up you idiot.

[ram40004]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all pardons the same. Overturning of jury's who vote to convict. Wexler is so full of hot air.

[JUSTPLAYNUTZ]

GO WEXLER GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tool46x2]

Dang! Now that is "nailing someone to the wall." I am just glad that Bob Wexler is not my dad. Nothing would be funnier than a Wexler v. Bush debate... GW would go home sobbing.

[dreema651]

This is good!

[vigwig]

Emperors Bush and Cheney think they are above the law, do not serve and protect the US Constitution, they think the Congress exists to serve THEM and not the United States or the American people. If their overreaching of executive power is allowed to continue unchecked you can kiss the Founders ideas of checks and balances goodbye and say hello to a dictatorship presidency from now on. Wake up people. Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis, it's the solution!

[jwlvs]

Bush didn't want Libby to spend one day in prison because Scooter might have been tempted to testify against the administration.

And, if Bush had instead _pardoned_ Libby, then Libby wouldn't have been able to take the Fifth when subpoenaed in the administration's crimes.

This is all about Bush covering his administration's crimes.

IMPEACH THEM NOW.

[blarelli]

The rule of law? Didn't the Pres. follow the law? I'm sick of congress, the president, and the rest of the federal government. The dems. are always angry, and creating false scandals. The repubs. piss me off because they just take it up the butt. Down with the two parties, vote based on merit and integrity.

[nohealthcare62]

ABOVE THE LAW ABUSIVE MUTINY JUST LIKE HILLARY she NEVER DID ANY TIME FOR STEALING FROM THE STOCK EXCHANGE OR her BROKER and THEY HUNG MARTHA STWART

[mrflo2219]

Blah blah blah... she was never charged with a crime because no crime was committed.

[killjoycranks]

Wexler- Pompous-Butt Congressman.

[liveleaker]

In 2001 Jesse Jackson added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals pardoned by President Clinton. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission and for sleeping with 15 year old campaign volunteer.

[jx14aby]

liveleaker,

so many logical flaws, so little time:

Ad hominem attacks, Tu quoque ("They did it too"), argumentum ad nauseum.

Just keep blowing smoke. Maybe no one will notice that you don't give a shit that the White House outed a CIA agent for political purposes.

[mrflo2219]

Reynolds had ALREADY spent 30 months (that's over two years) in a state prison for having sex with a 16-year-old campaign volunteer and was serving a five-year sentence in federal prison for lying to obtain loans and illegally diverting campaign money for personal use. Get your facts straight.

[willb48]

I wish Wexler were the committe chairman! No disrespect to Conyers is implied - but Wexler is an eloquent and forceful speaker.

[liveleaker]

Wexler is an asshole and hypocrite. He ignores Clinton pardoning legions of criminals who paid Hillary's freaking brother for representation. The worst kind of cronyism and bullcrap typified by democrat' politics. Wexler=schmuck.

[jx14aby]

more name-calling. and don't forget who marc rich's lawyer was- - - our very own Scooter Libby.

[sunnymarky]

Wexler A great Congressman

[LuminiferousAether]

That was a powerful and compelling argument.

[RBLA818]

IMPEACH & IMPRISON!!!

[MKB2814]

In leaking the name of Valerie Plame, someone in the Bush administration most likely compromised a valuable intelligence program, put many operatives at risk, and weakened the national security of the USA.

Can someone explain how that is not treason and how Scooter Libby possibly aided and abetted potential traitors?

[jx14aby]

Why don't they subpoena Mr. Libby to explain why he was lying? Also subpoena Mr. Rove and Mr. Armitage. Mr. Cheney? Let's get to the bottom of this.

[liveleaker]

Why don't you read the freaking transcripts lazy-ass? Armitage, a Clinton appointee, is the one where all this crazy shit began.

[jx14aby]

liveleaker, who put you up to this? right out of the gate you resort to name-calling.

maybe you missed the part about obstruction of justice and perjury.

your partisanship is showing.

[mrflo2219]

And yet the notes in the margins of a newspaper article made by DICK CHENEY (introduced into evidence at trial) were explicit in their message: go after Joe Wilson.

[DelinquentFaith]

Scooter is a traitor!

[liveleaker]

And you're guilty of being an idiot. Get your freaking facts straight before you step into the arena you meat stick.

[greatbroad]

Like Miss Sara, Scooter must have sworn an oath to President George W. Bush - instead of upholding, serving & protecting the U.S. Constitution.

[Justin9Noble]

scooter is a fucking asshole

he's a tentacle of cheney's ugliness
